Pamela Price has been sworn in as Alameda County District Attorney. In the 2022 Election, Price won the seat with 53% of the vote, defeating her more tough-on-crime opponent, Terry Wiley.
She is the first Black woman ever elected to this position and promises to make a big shift in the office’s approach to prosecution; Price’s campaign emphasized changing the system in favor of a more holistic approach to public safety.

Traffic cop: You were speeding. I’m going to issue you a $100 fine.
Me: I’d prefer a more holistic approach.
Whatever she's doing isn't working if she needs a personal bodyguard.
